I am extremely please with my Berlebach 2042 Report. Super steady and zero vibration (wood legs). Simple design, Made in Germany, quality. I am also going to buy a monopod they make.

Check out my post below.. I would say save an extra $50-$100 and buy a better tripod with higher build quality and more functionallity.. Giottos or Manfrotto would be the best choices based on my research.. and I'm kind of a freak when it comes to that stuff.
